I have to admit that I haven't yet seen this preview yet, but I'm certainly keeping an eye out for it. I've also got the show set to record.
However, here's what I've heard through the lactivist grapevine... previews for the show have a clip of Supernanny getting mad at the mom for nursing her 14-month old baby and saying "14-months old and STILL on the boob... crazy!". And then the announcer says "someone get that baby a bottle!". Um, excuse me while I go say some nasty things in another room. I'll be back when I've collected myself.
Ok, so, hopefully I can catch this nasty preview at some point. I've definitely got the DVR set to record. (BTW, the show airs Monday night, March 12th - check your local listings for time.) And after I've seen this nonesense, I'll be writing a letter to ABC and to the show's producers to let them know just how disgusted I am.
For anyone interested, I'll go ahead and post the contact information...

Well, I do respect peoples' right to their own opinion, but *blink*. Get the baby on a BOTTLE? Ummm, why?? To me I'll be weaning my baby from the breast when she no longer needs milk/formula - not before. I see NO reason to use a bottle if breastfeeding is working just fine. That just makes no sense to me!
I JUST saw this preview on TV. I'm mad. I usually agree with her opinions, but what the hell?
Although I'll point out that it's not Supernanny that says "get that baby a bottle", it's the voice-over narrator. Jo just said something about "STILL on the breast".
14 months!!
Jo says something like "14-months and still on the breast... CRAZY!" I'll edit my post to reflect that now that I've actually seen the commercial.
